Chris, 52, and Natasha are yet to announce the twins' real names, but he's been referring to them as "Ping and Pong" throughout the pregnancy.

The news was read out live on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show this morning by fellow DJ Sara Cox.

She said: "Ping and Pong arrived safe and well last night. Ping popped her head out at 2210, Pong popped his head out 12 minutes later at 22 minutes past 10. Both healthy, both strong, happy and blessed, as was Mum throughout.

On Wednesday's show, Chris had called his wife to check up on her ahead of her labour being induced later that day.

The radio DJ, who recently made the huge announcement that he's leaving the flagship BBC programme to return to Virgin Radio, previously revealed that Natasha was undergoing IVF treatment, to try for one more baby.

He said: “We’re having one last hurrah, one last attempt at a fourth ankle biter.”

“I did a bit of work for TNT once upon a time when I worked in a warehouse and when you work for TNT you see more TNT lorries, when you buy a Mini for the first time you see more Minis on the road, and when you begin to be involved in the world of twins suddenly twins everywhere, they are not as rare as you think.”
